What is Shimmer AB?

The Shimmer AB coating adds a soft, iridescent layer to the base crystal color, creating light-reflective brilliance without masking the original hue. The Jet Shimmer AB effect produces color shifts of blues, purples, and greens, giving this classic black stone a multidimensional finish ideal for luxurious and artistic designs.
